Sad to hear that Rob Grant has died. I was a huge Red Dwarf fan between the ages of 10 and 14.

Front cover of A Bad Bad Place showing black dog, blue swirls and punk font.
Publication day for A BAD BAD PLACE. Feel like an anxious mum at school gate. Good luck wee book, hope you make a friend. Don’t lose your lovely jacket.
Congratulations. What a fantastic cover.
Sadly not the new pantheon but 'selected using an "anonymous randomised selection process" to give every applicant "an equal chance of selection".'
Presumably they didn't sell it, given the gallery just went into administration. www.theartnewspaper.com/2026/02/04/s...
It is difficult to imagine it as something other than a theatre/gallery/venue/cinema.
But if it had to change, maybe the high ceiling of the courtyard could be a climbing centre.
One thing that is clear from the article above is how important it was to have wide roads, even when they weren't needed. Interesting to see how such things have changed cycling infrastructure.

Whatever you think about the future of cities, this post about the expansion of Victorian cities is absolutely thrilling.

The idea of “reforming the House of Lords” has become a memetic shorthand for Labour’s uselessness over time. The HoL now seems like a sort of Democracy Black Hole where the chumocracy consigns their cronies for eternity.'

There isn't even a public feed for X! At least, not officially.
However, it is possible to see what is happening via Xcancel:
